This is a different case. The original report used qemu-img create in step 2, which results in a sparse image that refers to the backing file for all data. Your sequence has qemu-img convert instead, which fully populates disk.qcow. Therefore, in step 3, qemu-img convert leaves the full allocation

My mistake. It's different case than mine. Above sequence (original report) works fine. But I do not really understand why the same is not achieved in my case. I use the convert instead of the create to get a full image in qcow format. From that point, the desired behaviour is to create a qcow

It is possible to chain backing files. As a workaround you could do the following: $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b 2.img 4.img # from now on don't modify 2.img, instead use 4.img $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b 2.img 3.img # here is the 3.img you tried to create with qemu-convert Images 1.img and
